Edge of Seventeen

Artists reveal what gets under their skin

Studio mates and culture vultures Allison Manch and Ariana Page Russell arent content to wear their passions on their sleeves. Instead, theyve catalogued their influences and obsessions through custom temporary tattoos bearing the faces (Kate Bush), lyrics (Blondie) and rock iconography (diamonds, feathers) of 70s and 80s pop/punk stars. We view the placement and prominence of each touchstone through Manchs and Russells photographs and collage. Leather and Lace is born from their interests in textile work, and ornament, respectively. Russell has investigated before how exteriors reveal as they conceal, such as the emotional power of the blush. For this show, however, she chose subjects who historically, heroically, didnt do much of that. Opening reception: 6 -8 p.m. Thurs., Sept. 6.
